If true, it is pretty daunting. And it does suggest why all the microbicides have failed so far.

Yet another study being heralded and interpreted by media folks who are not qualified to interpret the results. This doesn't say how many people were involved, what the controls were, or how well-designed the study was overall. To me, stating "most infections occur from a single copy" is a profound claim and requires profound evidence. This is especially so given that the virus is fragile and prone to transcription errors, which would render many, many copies completely non-infectious.
